Ep. 21 | From Atheist to Believer: Healing Church Hurt with Taylor Simpson

What happens when the church, meant to be a place of refuge, becomes a source of pain? In this episode of Kingdom Builders, I talk with Taylor Simpson, founder of Untamed University, to explore her journey from church hurt and family heartbreak to discovering a true faith in Christ. Taylor shares her story of growing up as the daughter of a Lutheran pastor who built a thriving church from the ground up, until her father's double life came to light. His affairs with parishioners shattered their family, leading Taylor to walk away from God completely, turning to drugs, alcohol, and hollow New Thought practices. Taylor shares how, through God's relentless grace, she found healing and rebuilt her faith, proving that God can restore what feels broken beyond repair. If you are struggling with how to trust God after being let down by a church community or other believers, this episode offers you hope and encouragement.   About Taylor: Taylor Simpson is the visionary force behind UNTAMED University, where faith-driven women step confidently into their God-given assignments and play full out.
